Use optionalField for creation in ExplainSMPolicy serialization

[Tarun-kishore]

Description

Fixed incorrect serialization of the creation field in ExplainSMPolicy.toXContent(). The method was using .field() instead of .optionalField() for the nullable creation field, which is inconsistent with how the deletion field is handled and with the reference implementation in SMMetadata.toXContent().

Changed line 39 in ExplainSMPolicy.kt:

• Before: .field(SMMetadata.CREATION_FIELD, it.creation)
• After: .optionalField(SMMetadata.CREATION_FIELD, it.creation)

This ensures proper handling of null creation workflow metadata in Explain API responses and aligns with the serialization behavior in SMMetadata.

will this have bwc issue when doing rolling upgrade? guess we need to add version check here

[Tarun-kishore]

Yes, Good catch. Added a version check.

[Tarun-kishore]

@Hailong-am I added a version check for greater than 3.3 (which is current version). The coverage is failing though, version 3.4 needs to be available for testing it. Rest all CI workflows are passing.
